This causes lithium atoms to form finger-like crystalline growths called dendrites that eventually grow large enough to short-circuit the device. Visualizing dendrite growth is critical to ...

Its multilayer design is described as a structure in which a less-stable electrolyte is sandwiched between more stable solid electrolytes that are able to prevent any lithium dendrite growth.

Innovations in metal surface engineering are enhancing battery life, efficiency, and safety. Learn how these techniques ...

we were able to guide reversible reactions between lithium metal and the electrolyte more effectively and suppress dendrite growth, resulting in lithium metal anodes with unprecedented lifespan ...

that is most likely to cause device failure by enabling the formation & growth of lithium dendrites originating at the interface between the lithium anode and solid electrolyte separator.

Linking structure and process in dendritic growth using persistent homology with energy analysis. Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods , 2025; DOI: 10.1080/27660400.2025.2475735 ...

The growth process conditions significantly influence the microstructure of these films, which in turn influences their function and performance. Dendritic structures, or tree-like branching ...

Researchers have developed a new AI model that predicts dendritic growth in thin films, helping optimize thin-film growth processes. Thin films are grown by depositing tiny layers of materials onto a ...

Ultra-low-temperature lithium metal batteries struggle with slow ion transport and dendrite growth. Here, authors develop a multifunctional electrolyte additive (PQA-NO 3) that forms a protective ...

Australasian firms Li-S Energy and Kea Aerospace have signed a collaboration agreement to test lithium-sulphur batteries in ...

as the raw materials are cheaper than needed for lithium-ion cells, and the extra weight of zinc is not much of a penalty in static applications. However, as zinc-ions electroplate onto and off of the ...
